Hi Mike, As a service-based business, I don't necessarily have physical inventory. But I have and will trade service for service, especially when someone can provide assistance with marketing and sales. All the best! Megan

I own and operate a salon in uptown pittsburgh. I have retail products, but we are also in the business of making people look good. I do bartering quite often. If your are interesting in Elevating your look, I would surely be interested in talking out a deal with you. I have done it with marketing agencies before and it worked out wonderful. As a matter of fact, the company that created my logo and aided in branding my company swapped services. I would love to work something out with you.

Although our company is a software and web platform provider with no real "inventory" like you would find in a retail environment, I would suspect that some business owners would find that appealing. I would assume that the "stale" inventory would need to fall into a category of non-sell"able", returned merchandise etc. I think the concept of bartering is underutilized and could be quite useful given the right circumstances. What is unclear to me is how the event of goods exchange in a barter is treated under taxation rules and guidelines. I would suspect that the bartering effort would be more effective if a prepared FAQ regarding the financial benefits were provided to your client(s) and prospect(s) during the discussions. Interesting question Mike. Ron
